I have some brief info here:

http://condor.depaul.edu/~jkristof/2000Aut463/2000Aut463-BridgesSwitches.ppt

Other good (probably better) sources might be:

The Switch Book: The Complete Guide, Rich Seifert

Interconnections: Bridges, Routers, Switches and Internetworking
Protocols, Radia Perlman

The old IBM redbooks or Token Ring architecture and design books
are very good for detailed technical info.  I'm just not sure if
these are readily available.

Peruse the comp.dcom.lans.token-ring archives.

John
